[ Flash ] China has just annihilated American predatory techno-capitalism

While OPEN IA, to whom we owe Chat GPTis moving from a non-profitable foundation status to that of a commercial company therefore for profit (admire the manner monopolizing donations encrypted several hundred million dollars) and is attached to lock certain features by making them owners, the Chinese start-up Deepseek has just published the entire source code of its artificial intelligence engine, more efficient and 96% cheaper to run (understand less greedy in calculation capacity therefore in electricity and in material investment) than cat GPT. Open source sous License Mitto mark the arm of honor made to Uncle Sam and the rest of the West live live in Davos this week.

To grasp the ins and outs of this major, even copernican, must first understand what open source is And what an AI engine is.

Open source is to make the source code available software. This source code is then usable “for free” since everyone has access to it. Those who wish to modify and improve it can as desired within the limits and conditions stipulated by the Open Source license, responsible for also making their modifications available.

The code being public, all those who have the skills to inspect it line by line and know what it does. Security risks such as large bugs, faults, back doors, etc. are thus very quickly detected and corrected. Open source is to trust collective intelligence, more effective than managerial hierarchy and voracious and violent elitism.

The best known open source software is Linux, which is an operating system heart, fundamental software that manages the hardware resources of a computer and provides common services for software applications. It was developed by Linus Thorvald which was inspired byUNIXa multitasking and multi-user operating system used mainly in servers.

On this heart, a multitude of developers came to graft components such as graphic interfaces, peripheral managers (for network cards, graphics cards) etc. The distributions of Linux, that is to say a complete and functional operating system including the heart and its components, are numerous (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Lunux Mintthe most famous being… Android, installed on 82% of smartphones) and available for free. If paid versions exist, then you are not charged the license for free software but software maintenance services, intended for critical uses (business servers and administrations essentially). Or they are donations to support the work of the development team, often volunteer.

Application developers do not have to pay the owner of the source code to have the right to develop and distribute their applications as is the case on Microsoft Windows, MacOS, IOS and Android in its Google, which has added many proprietary bricks to it.

If a company like Microsoft has garnered enormous growing profits and always continues to do so, it is because its original operating system, MS-Dos, and today Windows, are owners, which requires all manufacturers of PC (therefore users) to buy licenses (ie the revocable right to use the software and not the property of the software). All developers must buy a development tool kit and pay for the distribution of their applications. Monopoly situation therefore of rent. This is how some large American technological companies have been able to – and can still with smartphones – racket the whole land for decades.

Do you remember server operating systems such as Windows NT and Domino Server of Lotus (IBM), Infamous Bouses that was sold dear in the years 1990-2000? They were replaced by Linux. Linux being free and more efficient, it has a market share of more than 80%. Almost all of the cloud servers run on Linux.

This is the reason why Microsoft, IBM and the others started to invest in cloud infrastructure. Because it is by providing storage and accommodation services that you can still earn money, since Linux has reduced the paid licenses market for servers systems.

An artificial intelligence engine is not so different from the heart of an operating system. By making its source code public, Deepseek has just made the sale of license almost impossible for other artificial intelligence engines, starting with Chat GPT. It is also for this reason that Elon Musk, who was careful not to say, put Grok in free use on X, when there was still a month ago. As for Google’s Gemini engine, it is so full of biases and dysfunctional that the Palo Alto giant is in the cabbage in an irreparable way it seems.

This means one and only one thing: American predatory techno-capitalism in AI is already dead and buried. GAFAMs are sealed. Donald Trump will be able to spend $ 500 billion well, that will not change the case – if not throwing $ 500 billion out of the window. It will always be more interest in using an open source engine whose operation is transparent, safer and faster development with a wider choice of “distributions” and features.

Another enormous problem for techno-mafia from across the Atlantic, the USA are also exceeded in the hardware, the late generations necessary to operate the large-scale AI engines. By Taiwan and by China. Nvidia, the only manufacturer of American semiconductors present in this sector, will not make the weight.

Of Europe, is the need to speak? The servile and corrupt leather rounds that direct it prefer, in order to cling to their power, to regulate (censor) the contents in such a Kafkaiian way and that in fact rather than to attach to what matters, the total sovereignty of the total sovereignty of Each European on its data and that of each European country on its infrastructure …

Microsoft and health data: the wolf in the sheepfold?

is the only country in the world which has thanks to the vital card of 30 years of unified health data over its entire population. With an invaluable value: without data, AI is useless. So let the Americans loot us with the complicity of our leaders.

However, some parliamentarians do their work and struggle. For the moment in vain. Valid for digital, for energy, for agriculture, for industry …

“For the past twenty years, we have lost this idea of ​​strategic information”

By putting in open source Deepseek, China has just rendered huge service to humanity. Not we who say it but Marc Andresen, a major figure in Silicon Valley and creator of Netscape, one of the first Internet browsers.

The Chinese AD in terms of AI is not new. China prepared it by regulating algorithms very early on, that is to say by imposing rights for users and duties for algorithms, as curious as it may seem. Which throws a mountain in the pond of Western “liberals” that howl as soon as you talk about regulation because they only hear regulation.

We have the relationship with you in an article dated March 31, 2022.

Extract.

China has adopted a triple regulatory approach (governance does not mean anything in French) of artificial intelligence.

  1. A set of 30 rules which will apply to all the algorithms used on the internet. An example of a rule is The ability of the algorithm to give an explanation and to correct any infringement of the rights and interests of users. This rule is particularly interesting because if platforms – YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc. – give no explanation when, for example, to a decision to suspending account, it is often more because they do not know what motivated the action only because they refuse to explain. Clearly, no one has a clear vision of what the algorithm does.

  2. Of the tools and systems to test and certify trust algorithms on criteria such as robustness, biases and their ability to explain

  3. A set of ethical rules Applying for the development of artificial intelligences with the compulsory existence of ethical committees within any working organization, responsible for implementing these rules and and controlling their application.

Yes. You read that right. China, this totalitarian country, this communist dictatorship wants any decision taken by an algorithm or an artificial intelligence can be explained and be corrected by each time that it is affected by the rights and interests of a user.
